No One is Coming to Save You. And That’s the Best News Ever

By: Cheron Porter

We’ve all been there—stuck, waiting for the “right time” or the “right person” to change the game for us. But here’s the truth: No one is coming to save you.

And that’s the best news ever. Because it means the power is yours.

The real boss move? Accountability. When you own your actions, you stop waiting and start winning. 

Boss Moves Edition

Alright, let’s be real. We’ve all been there—waiting. Waiting for the promotion, the perfect timing, the right person to swoop in and fix things. But here’s the truth: no one is coming to save you.

And guess what? That’s actually great news.

Because it means the power to change your life is in your hands. Nobody else’s.

The Real Power Move? Accountability.

A lot of people hear accountability and think “pressure” or “punishment.” Nah. True accountability is the ultimate flex. It’s you saying:

“I own my actions.”
“I control my next move.”
“I’m not waiting—I’m working.”

Think about it:
Instead of waiting for permission, you give it to yourself.
Instead of blaming the situation, you flip the script.
Instead of hoping for a rescue, you become the hero of your own story.

So, Where Do I Begin?

Here’s how to hold yourself down and level up:

Set One Bold Goal – Be specific. Be audacious. Example: “I will sign 5 new clients in the next 90 days.”

Write It Down – Keep that goal front and center. On your phone, laptop, forehead (okay, maybe not, but you get it).

Find an Accountability Partner – Someone who won’t let you slack. A coach, mentor, or that friend who always keeps it with you.

Track Small Wins – Success isn’t one big leap; it’s stacking up those daily victories. Celebrate them.

Check Yourself Weekly – Take time to reflect: What’s working? What needs tweaking? What’s next?

The second you stop waiting for someone to save you, you realize: you’ve been the one you were waiting for all along.
